Under the Hood

A look at the simple, powerful technology that makes QuickInstaller work.

1

You Pick Your Apps

The first step happens right on our main page. You browse through a curated list of hundreds of popular applications. As you click on an app, a simple JavaScript event listener registers your choice. This all happens in your browser, and your selections are stored temporarily on your machine, not on our servers.

2

The Script is Generated

This is where the magic happens. When you click "Generate Script," our client-side JavaScript gets to work. It takes the list of apps you selected and formats them into a valid Windows Batch (.bat) script. Using the browser's Blob API, it creates a new file directly in your computer's memory. A download link is then created for this file, and the download starts automatically. Your data never leaves your computer.

You Run the Script

Once you run the downloaded QuickInstaller.bat file as an administrator, it performs a few key actions:

  • It first checks if you have the Chocolatey package manager. If not, it installs it for you—this is the engine that powers the whole process.
  • Next, it loops through each application you selected and tells Chocolatey to install it using the choco install command.
  • Each installation is performed silently and without bloatware, meaning you won't have to click through any setup wizards or uncheck any bundled offers.

The result is a clean, automated setup of all your favorite software in a fraction of the time it would take to do it manually.
